IP address assignment

Default IP address and DHCP settings

All products that have a cellular (WAN) interface ship with static IP address for the Ethernet port

of 192.168.1.1 and DHCP server enabled by default. The Ethernet port of the laptop should be

configured to automatically receive an IP address and DNS server address.

All products that only have an Ethernet or Wi-Fi (LAN) interface ship with DHCP client enabled

by default. Accessing the web interface on these products is most easily done by connecting it to a

LAN that has a DHCP server.

To discover which IP address has been assigned to the device, use the Device Discovery Utility for

Windows, available on the Software and Documentation CD. See installation instructions on

page 48.

Alternative methods of assigning IP addresses

There are several methods to assign an IP address to a Digi device, described on the following

pages:

 Assign a specific IP address to a device, through the Digi Device Setup Wizard.

 Use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) from the web interface.

 Use the command-line interface.

 Use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), also known as Auto-IP.

Note

For the Digi Connect ES 4/8 SB with Switch device, special considerations apply

when assigning IP addresses, owing to the two Ethernet interfaces on the product. See

page 57.
